Punk Rock: The Madness in My Area

Punk Rock in misunderstood because of both reasons, times are changing and the generational gap,and not every one is ready for it. There was once a time when spitting, profanity, and lude Acts were unacceptable in music, now it's just seen as a part of life and the music we listen to. During concerts you will see all of this if not more. Even in music videos and not just rock videos, you see girls half naked grinding on each other and the men in the videos. There is more profanity in rock/rap music today than there has ever been, the music we listen to and videos we watch imply that it's ok to spit, throw blood, and even tampons at each other. And once apone a time all of this was wrong and (in most cases still is) disgusting, but at a rock concert it morally ok cause the younger generation accept it. it's the older generation that's not willing to deal with this uproar and don't understand it. Because of the generation gap and the unwillingness to give way to what they don't understand the older generation sees rock as savage, morally corrupting, and misleading. When they hear this it disturbs there ears, they don't hear the words nor do they try to understand it they just feel it's to loud and morally wrong because of the things they do at these concerts and on the videos. Now on the other hand the people that love rock feel that they are just having a good time and are not hurting anyone, they can sympathize with the music and they understand all the words, at that time in life, life is just a party. Personally I am not a fan of rock music and there is only a few rap songs that I will listen to and it's all because my ears are sensitive I cant take all that noise, so if there are a lot of people like me that could be a reason rock music is so misunderstood, there is a lack of understanding for what there are saying, and what there point is. and what they are trying to express. Even though I'm not a fan I would not ban it and if I heard it was being banned from certain country's I would be appalled because every one is entitled to there opion, and freedom of speech and music weather it be rock, rap, country, or opera it's a form of freedom of speech that should not be taken away.
